A biography for J.I.Dhasn’t been written yet.
“My writing process is consecutive, like, 'mad scientist' crazy. It's not totally writing something that rhymes or even writing a rap necessarily. Sometimes it's just writing down stuff that I'm going through.”
“I try to be, like, hella sensitive to my surroundings.”
“Nobody on Earth does a project by himself. So you have to make sure your team is intact.”
“I started writing music around 20 years old.”
“'Lauder' is a favorite because the name of the song is a friend of mine who passed away.”
“I am always able to find that solitude. I am always able to find that peace. Which is tight. That is what has helped me keep going.”
“I've always been talented, always been able to sing or remember a song after hearing it one time.”
“I ran track and played football... I was an all-American.”
“I'm reclusive when it comes to me giving art away because I get real sensitive about that and critiques.”
“I don't try to make one thing. I really try to experiment, even if its just the vocals or the beat. I can't really describe my sound.”
“I got the name from my grandma because when I was a baby, she used to call me jittery. I used to move around real fast.”
“It never really mattered to me trying to get somewhere fast because if you get somewhere fast, you probably won't stay there too long.”
“I try to read as much as I can.”
“I'm from the same area as Gucci Mane. I stayed off Bouldercrest road. I stayed off Glenwood.”
“I'm never comfortable.”
“I always loved hip-hop, being a black little kid. I always used to freestyle on the bus when I was young. It was always a part of my life.”
“I feel like the world is getting dumber. I don't necessarily think people are stupid, but I think we're getting dumber.”
“How I did the first 'DiCaprio,' it was mine. I was pulling from everywhere. I was getting stuff from movies. I was getting stuff from interviews. Everywhere. And it was fine, because it was just put out for free on SoundCloud.”
“Change is definitely every day. It's an ever-changing world. Everything changes, so I really don't know. I just hope I become a better person, a better man.”
“For me to be creative, I have to have peace.”
